Northern Soul Posted 22 January , 2009 Share Posted 22 January , 2009 Does anyone know what the "2a" and the "W" stand for on this card at the top right. I though W might be Class W Reserve but a man discharged as no longer fit for military service would not be a candidate for the Class W Reserve )if I have read the criteria correctly). Cheers. Andy.

jay dubaya Posted 22 January , 2009 Share Posted 22 January , 2009 Andy not sure of the 'W' but Army Order 291 Silver War Badge : October 1918 has para 2a and reads as follows: 2. Under the amended conditions the badge will, subject in every case to the approval of the Army Council, be issued to the individuals specified below, who served with the Colours for at least seven days subsequent to the 4th August, 1914: (a) Disabled men who have served during the present war outside the British Islands, or have served in the field in any previous war.

SteveE Posted 22 January , 2009 Share Posted 22 January , 2009 Does anyone know what the "2a" and the "W" stand for on this card at the top right. W = Wounds, I can't remember off the top of my head what the 2a reference is but I'll check tonight if nobody else answers in the meantime. Regards Steve edit: I see Jon's answered the 2a bit now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
